Not far from the truth, I’m afraid to say.Think about this the next time you’re flying, and ATC tells the pilots they have traffic at 12 o’clock. As they both look at their digital watches and wonder “What the hell is he talking about?”

In 2005, a 13-year-old in my family, upon seeing a rotary-dial desk telephone, asked what it was. After the explanation, he thought it was cool, and used it in his room, until a few years later when his family stopped using the land line.

Yea, but the digital clocks makes them learn math. You can look at an analog clock, see the big hand on the 8 and little hand on the 4 and know it is 20 minutes til 5. When a digital clock reads 4:40, you have to subtract to know it is 20 minutes until 5:00. See some good comes from everything.

About The Born Loser

The Born Loser began in 1965 as a strip with no central characters that revolved around the loser theme. Gradually, it developed into the comic we see today, starring lovable loser Brutus Thornapple, his wife Gladys, mother-in-law Ramona Gargle, boss Rancid Veeblefester, dim-witted son Wilberforce and the mischievous neighbor Hurricane Hattie O'Hara.

Artist Chip Sansom began apprenticing for his father, Born Loser creator Art Sansom, in 1977. He became a full-time assistant, and gradually took on an ever-increasing role in the drawing and gag-writing duties until his father passed away in 1991.
